in 1979-80 everyone was buying gold.  No one could conceptualize that a piece of cardboard with a picture on it would be worth more than their weight in gold over 40 years later.

So not mentioned but coyotes released Adam Ruzica former flames pick. Why? Cuz he posted himself doing lines of coke on Instagram.

I have vivid memories of throwing darts at Gretzky rookie cards.  All of the Oilers.  We hated them so much...

There was an article about him (and others) in the Free Press prior to the draft.  I'm a bit surprised he dropped as far as he did given his size/stats.

quick internet search reveals Pender is no stranger to on-ice fisticuffs, and he also made waves at the 2013 world ball hockey championships in St. John's, when he initiated a brawl against a superior Czech Republic team during a semi-final game that resulted in a lengthy suspension by Canada Ball Hockey.
 

that stands out as a reason to ban the guy. Yeah dude taunted him but throwing his broken stick at the fan is wild.
